Administration of WinRho® SDF

Administration of WinRho® SDF is convenient, requiring an intravenous infusion over three to five minutes.


Efficacy*

WinRho® SDF demonstrates excellent efficacy in Rho(D)-positive nonsplenectomized patients.1,2

* Study was performed using WinRho®/WinRho® SD
† Dose = 20-75 µg/kg (100-375 IU/kg); Response = platelet increase to ≥20,000/mm3
‡ Dose = 25-55 µg/kg (125-275 IU/kg); Response = platelet increase to ≥ 50,000/mm3 and doubling of baseline platelet count

WinRho® SDF Liquid is Bioequivalent to WinRho® SDF Lyophilized

In two comparative pharmacokinetic studies (n=101), the formulations were bioequivalent following IV administration based on area under the curve to 84 days and had comparable pharmacokinetics following IM administration. Both formulations also had similiar elimination half-lives. WinRho®  SDF must be administered via the intravenous route for the treatment of ITP.

WinRho® Response Time

A multicenter, randomized, controlled trial (n=146) comparing WinRho® to IVIG and prednisone in children with acute ITP was conducted. After WinRho® SDF therapy, the mean time to achieve platelet count of ≥ 20,000/mm3 was 1.9 days and ≥ 50,000/mm3 was 2.8 days.

When comparing the different therapies for time to platelet count ≥ 20,000/mm3 or ≥ 50,000/mm3, no statistically significant differences were observed among treatment groups, with a range of 1.3 to 1.9 days and 2.0 to 3.2 days for IVIG and prednisone, respectively.1,2
